The Therapeutic Nursery is a program designed to assist 2 1/2 to 5 year olds with emotional and behavioral difficulties that interfere with healthy development and social relationships. Many of the children who will come to the Therapeutic Nursery may appear under-socialized, over aggressive, may have experienced disruptions in early attachment relationships, may have been exposed to violence or trauma, as witness or victim, and/or may have underlying developmental and biologically-based difficulties that interfere with their ability to self-regulate, communicate and engage in reciprocal relationships.
